The Prom

“Everyone deserves a chance to celebrate.”

Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep) and Barry Glickman (James Corden), two Broadway stars with a flop behind them, need a cause that will make people like them again. They find one in Indiana, where the PTA led by Mrs. Greene (Kerry Washington) has banned same-sex couples from the prom, and they head west to back two lesbian students. Ryan Murphy stages the visit like a touring revue, with the actors stepping off the bus in their Broadway costumes.
